Nimbostratus3 Feature Requests: Resizable Data Group windows, Data Group name sorting, horizontal scroll bar
Good afternoon. I love the iRule editor and use it daily.
My company uses iRule generated data group names based on the iRule name + name of the virtual server. As you can imagine, the names are all very similar and very long. The issue we have is that you can only see the first 15 characters or so of the name. If you have multiple data group names that are very similar, you have to guess about which one you want.
To make it easier to grab the right data group, I would like to suggest these 3 features:
1) Make the Data Groups & Data Group Editor windows resizable
2) Sort the list boxs on the Data Groups window.
3) Add an optional horizontal scroll-bar to the text lists on both the Data Groups & Data Group Editor windows.

- Robert, sorry for the long delay on the response but I'm finally getting some time to work on Editor features and I'll definitely get these in. Thanks for posting!

RobertColbertI grabbed the source code and did some of these on my own. I'm not a C developer but the forms designer is pretty straight forward.
2 & 3 were very simple to do.
In DataGroupsDialog.cs:
2 - Change the Sorted flag under Behavior for each listbox to True
3 - Change HorizontalScrollbar flag under Behavior for each listbox to True
I'm sure you already knew that but for those following allong, I thought I'd put it out there.
